<br>Boss fights are a staple in every Soulsborne game. Some of these bosses may be considered optional, so defeating them rewards players with cool items or runes/souls. However, there are other bosses that players must defeat if they want to progress through the game. But in every Soulsborne game, there are boss fights that many players can agree on being annoying, even if they aren't as difficult as some of the franchise's more punishing fights. And out of the many bosses that Elden Ring has , several of them fall into this categ<br><br> <br>Of all the FromSoftware Soulslike RPGs on the market, **Elden Ring ** has perhaps the most comprehensive and intricate ally-summoning system for players who need an extra warm body to draw the attention of difficult enemies, and there are several NPCs players may not even realize can be summoned. Besides using Spirit Ashes or summoning in cooperative players from other worlds, Elden Ring also has fixed summon signs outside certain boss arenas players can use to call forth friendly NPCs such as the jovial walking pot Iron Fist Alexander or the soft-spoken wolf warrior Blaidd. Certain NPC summon signs, however, are harder to find than others – in some cases because they're locked behind obscure quest lines, and in other cases, <a href="https://Eldenringfans.com/articles/elden-ring-nightreign-the-unyielding-2025-game-of-the-year-contender.html">https://Eldenringfans.com/articles/elden-ring-nightreign-the-unyielding-2025-game-of-the-year-contender.html</a>; because they're locked behind obscure quest lines that send players down very, very dark pa<br><br> <br>**Elden Ring ** ’s Putrid Crytalian Trio within Sellia Hideaway is another annoying boss encounter. Crystalians are common enemies and bosses in the game, and they can be especially problematic for players without weapons to deal blunt damage. However, the Putrid Crystalian Trio are the most annoying Crystalians in the game. There is a Staff, Spear, and Ringblade Crystalian who all deal Scarlet Rot when they attack the player. In theory, players should defeat the Staff Crystalian first, but that is a challenge when the Spear and Ringblade Crystalians are chasing the player. Spirit Ashes may help, but they should inflict blunt dam<br><br> <br>The Burial Watchdogs are common bosses and enemies found in many dungeons throughout Elden Ring . Beating the Erdtree Burial Watchdogs in Elden Ring is possible for all players. However, the Erdtree Burial Watchdog in the Impaler’s Catacombs may be annoying for every player, regardless of their character level. The reason this specific Erdtree Burial Watchdog is annoying is because of the imps that accompany this boss. During this fight, it is easy for the imps to surround a player and inflict bleeding, while the Burial Watchdog finishes the job. There is even a chance that the imps will kill the player before the Burial Watchdog can even reach them. To defeat the boss, players must clear out the imps while avoiding the Burial Watchdog’s atta<br><br> <br>Paying close attention to attack patterns proves to be key in many of the sticky situations in Elden Ring , but this is most certainly not always the case, especially against those with unpredictable movement. In fact, a few decently common foes can even be more challenging than some of the game's bosses. Having continued to challenge millions of fans around the world with its several strategically focused foes, like Warhawks and Revenants, the question still remains as to which are the hardest of the common o<br><br> <br>Knights are another pretty common enemy but can vary greatly in difficulty depending on their type and the weapon they wield. Players often seek them out since they are a good source of farming for the best armor, shield, and weapon sets in Elden Ri<br><br> <br>On the surface, Marika’s title, The Eternal, can mean that, since she is a vassal of the Greater Will in Elden Ring 's Lands Between , she is to live eternally. It may also be a reference to the long lives of the Numen. However, it could also indicate that she is of the Eternal City. If this is indeed the meaning behind the moniker, Marika would likely have to hide this fact because of the feud between the Greater Will and the <br><br> <br>Known for the most tricky and harrowing enemies of the modern gaming industry, Elden Ring has made its mark as the most popular open-world adventure game of the year, thus far. With dedicated practice in defeating these HP thieves, the game can be extremely rewarding to play once their weaknesses are underst<br><br> <br>The Royal Revenant is an optional boss found in the Kingsrealm Ruins in the northwest section of Elden Ring ’s Liurnia of the Lakes . Players can reach the ruins early in the game and find the boss room beneath an illusionary floor in the ruins. While revenants and royal revenants are challenges that can be found in other locations of the game, fighting this Royal Revenant is annoying because of how small the boss room is. Getting pinned against the wall while being poisoned and hit by the boss is a huge possibility. And if players are not careful, they can be killed as soon as they enter the r<br><br> <br>However, the death of Godwyn the Golden poses a potential challenge to this theory. On the Night of the Black Knives, Ranni’s physical form died while Godwyn’s soul form perished. Godwyn was supposedly Marika’s favorite child, and, from some perspectives, his death is one of the reasons she tried to destroy the Elden Ring, which led to a Elden Ring 's brutal war known as The Shattering . In other words, it’s unclear why Marika would help or recruit Ranni if it would mean the death of her favorite child. One possible explanation is that Ranni accepted Marika’s help with the intention of betraying her, but there is no solid evide<br>
